Repositioning the drive wheels can create
a higher risk of tipping. Ensure brake
system is still functioning correctly
Ensure all bolts are in place and firmly
tightened before using chair
3.7 Adjusting seat height
The seat height on the Phönix wheelchair can be adjusted
from 42.5cm – 52.5cm in 2.5cm steps. To adjust the seat
height first remove both wheels, unbolt (using a suitable 24
mm spanner) the axle mounting from the multi-position axle
mounting plate and reposition at the required height. Ensure
that the axle mounting is fully tightened after repositioning.
If a seat height of 42.5cm is required, this is acheived by
using 22" wheels. If a seat height of 52.5cm is required,
this is acheived by using 26" wheels (see fig. 22).
Note: If drum brakes are fitted, the drum brake assembly
must also be removed when raising the seat height. The
drum brake assembly is mounted on the axle mounting and
should be removed at same time as the axle mounting.
3.8 Horizontal movement of the drive
wheels
The drive wheels of the wheelchair can be moved forward on
the wheelchair to increase manoevrability for certain users.
The axle support mounting can be moved forward rather
than upwards in the multi-position axle plate (see fig. 23).
4.1 Setting the back height
The back height of the Phönix can be adjusted from 36cm –
46cm in 2cm increments. First remove the back canvas by
unscrewing the two phillips screws, then unscrew the two
cap head bolts with a 5mm allen key at the bottom of the
back rest (on each side) the back rest can now be raised in
2cm steps. Once you have set the desired back height, re-fix
and tighten all cap head bolts (see fig. 24).
Note adjusting seat height may cause
instability with an increased risk of
tipping. Reposition front wheels
to suit new seat height and ensure brake
system is still functioning correctly
